Basic help with settimer

[DAVE_100]

Hi all

I'm trying to make the below code work, it should behave as follow:

Press f1 > wait till either Notepad or My Documents is opened. Give relevant messagebox

Currently it almost works, but the messagebox will only appear upon seeing My Documents only after the Notepad messagebox has triggered first. I need it to be looking for whichever I enter first. Also sometimes the messagebox pops up twice, quickly after closing, how do I get this to just run once?

Any ideas how I can tweak this? Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

f1::

settitlematchmode, 2
settimer, docs, -1
settimer, notepad, -1
;return

docs:
winwaitactive, ahk_class CabinetWClass
msgbox, docs
return

notepad:
winwaitactive, ahk_class Notepad
msgbox, Notepad


return

I'm just learning this stuff myself, but until one of the experienced folks show up, you might want to look at this..

Thank you, I'm so sorry I now need to do the same but where the class is the same but the window title is different, are you able to help with that too please? I really am grateful, thank you for your response.

Eg the below, which isn't working..

GroupAdd doc, Yahoo UK
SoundBeep 1500

IfWinActive, google
MsgBox 64, this is the Google website

  IfWinActive, Yahoo UK
MsgBox 64, this is the Yahoo website

Check Window Spy for the WinTitle info. Use the leading text. Window titles are case sensitive.

See documentation for IfWinActive. The statement is deprecated and not recommended.
